Metals Inc. - Fiberglass Grating/Pultruded Grating

Metals, Inc. pultruded grating provides maximum stiffness and minimum deflection for long spans. Pultruded grating is not molded as a unit and therefore requires careful design and planning where cut-outs are necessary. The pultrusion process permits production of continuous panels in lengths up to 20 feet (longer on special order).

Patented assembly method forms solid, unitized panels while preserving the strength and stiffness of the bearing bars. Bearing bars and cross bars are mechanically interlocked and bonded securely in place to resist torsion, bending, and other loading. Cross bars flush with the surface of the grating, provide excellent footing and skid resistance.

Pultruded fiberglass grating is available in five premium resin systems. Korgrit® non - skid aggregate surface is standard. Premium synthetic veils are also standard for maximum ultraviolet and chemical corrosion resistance.

Grating shall be fiberglass grating as fabricated by Metals, Inc., Cleveland, Ohio.

Grating shall be assembled with mechanically interlocked cross bars and bearing bars, maintaining full structural integrity of the bearing bars. Cross bars shall be flush with the top surface of the grating and coated with a non-skid surface.

Korgrit® non - skid surface Wear-resistance, silica-textured surface provides sure-footing and good traction in extremely oily or icy conditions. Korgrit meets all OSHA specifications for non-slip, aggregate surface applications. On Kordek gratings, the Korgrit is applied to the wider bottom surface and the grating is installed inverted (strength and deflection properties are not adversely affected).

Custom resin systems
Compression -molded and pultruded grating can be made using resin systems to meet specific requirements.

Custom colors
Any available resin system can be pigmented to produce the color of your choice.

Korfloor™
Solid FRP panels are factory-laminated to the top grating surface, bottom surface, or both. Korfloor is used whenever open-mesh gratings are undesirable. Available in smooth and Korgrit surfaces.

Anti - static
Carbon-filled grating that offers higher uniform conductance ratings than carbon-coated gratings

New Korglow™grating glows in the dark
Korglw FRP grating provides an extra dimension of safety in areas where sudden loss of lighting would leave workers groping in the dark. Korglow immediately glows bright enough to allow workers to find their way to safety. Korglow is an enhanced-safety version of IGI's proven Korlock high - modulus pultruded grating. The phosphorescent material is applied during pultrusion and will never wear off the grating nor lose its luminescence as long as it is regularly exposed to light.

Stair Treads
Stair treads are made from sturdy 1 1/2" compression-molded grating. Two styles are available: Filled-nose and angle-nose. Non-skid Korgrit® aggregate surfacing is standard on both, in compliance with OSHA Specification 1910.24f. Call toll-free for details and ordering information.
